Mainly I want to design a site that kids can go to to learn, and also have
resources for parents to help their child learn and teachers to get lesson
plans and teaching aids. A combination of Discovery Zone and the
information in the sites below (good for teachers, not for kids).

The kids then go through a multimedia presentation about DNA.
